So, you want to be the big boss, eh?

To be feared and revered by all

And to let the innocent to feel lost.

Influencing the weak for your own gain

Having the devil by your side and to have the audacity,

the mind and fantasy to think that everything shall sway your way.

While others are not trained to stand up for themselves,

I know some who are there to put an end to your yearn to control someone.

They say bullying binds one emotionally, physically and mentally

But I see this trick that they don’t see. It can bind anyone spiritually.

So you think that you can get by to put someone under your feet, eh?

Someone will come by to protect the weak. Don’t think that your threats will make ends meet.

By God, the meek can take on any giant with an ego like you.

for the righteousness bloom and flourish and their hearts pure and true.

 

But you, the one who feels weak. You want to gain strength, eh?

Life is not meant to have no enemies but you cannot let the enemies take the victory.

No enemies of yours should bully you until you feel as though there is no hope.

Words are powerful, yes, if it is taken to heart.

One can tolerate as much as they can handle on that slippery slope

But you try to carry the burdens and have doubtful thoughts that can tear you apart.

Stay strong, a praying warrior

No one can destroy you with fists or words.

You can blossom like my favorite geraniums or be as sturdy as an oak tree.

But know that you can always grab your closest ally to fight back a bully.

Life is yours to prosper in; not to die within

 

But as for you who just stand there, what is wrong with you?

Some are suffering in their trials, waiting for someone to support them.

But when someone with evil intents comes in to wreck their day

you would stand there and watch them be in dismay.

I pray that you are not the one who enjoys the torment that they are in.

Either way, you are indirectly supporting the act of evil that is attempting to become a trend.

We must help the ones who cannot help themselves.

Stand up for those who cannot stand themselves.

There should be no reason to fear.

You can be the light for those who can be near and dear.

Call on someone, fight for your comrades and the person who wanted power will cease and a new ally you gain will be content and be glad.
